Please Help or Pray for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Please help or pray for the victims of the Typhoon Haiyan or more known as Yolanda here in the Philippines. I'm a Filipino and I didn't experience this event here in my place but I'm very sad about this event. With over 10,000 people dead in the central part of the Philippines (Most of the deaths have been caused by storm surge ) and the devastating result it gave the place. You can't even imagine it would be resulted like this.
There is this certain part of the news that I watched. A certain city in the Leyte, Philippines that can't be accessed either by cars or trucks so the reporter went their by a helicopter bringing only a camera and a microphone because they need to know what's going on their now. When they're landing, people were running towards them because they taught they were bringing relief goods. The reporter saw they're many dead bodies scattered beside the roads, under the roofs and ply woods, anywhere. The smell of dead bodies surrounds the entire place. The reporter interviewed their barangay captain or the head of the community. He said all of them didn't eat food for 4 days because they still haven't received relief goods. He was asked what they needed. The barangay captain said they need help, food, water and medicine. He said these words over and over especially the word "Help". As he said these words he cries. I even almost cried. The residents said even if the reporter didn't bring any relief goods it is alright because the reporter gave them the chance to be broadcasts on the television. They were saying like "My relatives in Manila I'm safe here but the rest of the family here are dead now", "My wife in Virginia I'm safe but all of our children were dead now", "My relatives in Metro Manila, grandpa is dead", etc. As they say those words I really think I'm going to cry because you can feel what they have gone through.
